The owners of those fake titles should be proactive and start sueing NOW.

Once the director of kevivapi said that they didn't sell any land to anyone, they should have organised got themselves a court order and sued everyone they could think of.

Instead of their 16billion being used as a4 would say to develop the pockets of the "professionals", it should be developing theirs.

Even sue the banks which have property departments that vetted that the land was genuine.

If they keep quiet, they will lose. Maybe not today, but a bulldozer is surely coming one day.

Ask Syokimau, ask the runda fellows who's houses had CLEAN titles in 1971 but find out later they were sold land on a road reserve.

Sue these "professionals" in the pockets of land grabbers or forever hold your "piece" of junk land.

@alma these are not just dumb investors they are innocent kenyans who trusted the system. They bought land from a govt agency and not a broker at riveroad. returning the land back to another govt agency then our taxes being used to compensate these people probably at a higher rate is simply going full circle!

Jamplu why are you trying to confuse the "innocent" investors? You know as well as I do, that if kevavapi says they did not sell land, then nssf did not buy land from them.

So who did they buy it from? Is it the "broker" you are trying to shield in this topic?

The original owner has said his land was stolen. The present owners should now sue the person who sold them the properties. Not listen to arguments of gov't vs gov't or ohh proper land use, ohh sijui nssf.

Sue the developer and the bank. Its upto the developer to go sue nssf and nssf to sue kevavapi.

Apana confuse these investors.

You have just seen what an architect will tell you as a buyer. "Its not my work to validate a title in a gov't office". Sue him too. Next time he will validate.

Lakini keeping quiet and waiting for Sonko to save you would be the dumbest investment decision they ever made.

its time Kenyans started suing and not moving on kila saa.

But in the meantime, they should be demolished.

@a4architect, I don't want to return everyone to misri, but I think what you have is what would be turned tunnel vision. Relocate national park, jenga nyumba. Relocate JKIA, jenga nyumba. Relocate...jenga nyumba. That can be attributed to your profession, but the bigger picture doesn't work that way. Secondly, I agree with @alma. You don't justify an illegality by saying the economy will be affected when houses constructed on controversially acquired land are demolished. That's how corruption is fanned. Sometimes sh*t happens so that it can guard future investors from getting caught up in the same.

@alma, as i said, am not an expert in land conveyancing issues so on the legality of title, i can only give my pedestrian 2 cents.

The commissioner of lands holds government land on behalf of ministries. If he decides to sell off kevevapi land, then kenyans must accept the decision and move on. If you buy the kevevapi land then carry out a search, the results show that you are the new owner and can now resell the same land. If the commissioner made errors, we have to accept them since i dont see any other practical solution to this. Its upon the government to appoint trustworthy comissioners of lands and punish them if they do wrong.

The land was originally owned by the tribal africans/kambas/maasais. It was then taken without compensation by the colonial govt. The colonial govt then resold it to white settlers or transferred the land to the kenyatta govt. The kenyatta govt held the land and transfered to the moi govt then kibaki govt. What the govt of the day decided to do with the land, and in this case commissioner of lands/president as representative, is what was legal then. Of course a lawyer would have an even better explanation regarding this.

National land commission also should step in and give us the way forward since currently, this is their docket.

If Prof. Swazuri saw your post above he's start laughing.

The issue of original owners of Kenyan land doesnt arise anywhere. There was a law when this kevevapi land was said to have been sold. It was broken by someone.

That someone should be in court right now together with the professionals who helped him in this alleged fraud. Apana maneno ya africans and mzungus here.

The commisioner of lands only comes in when land is LEGALLY sold. Not ILLEGALLY.

This is a case for the Kenya police apana maneno of accepting and moving on. Man if these property owners listen to your professional advice they deserve to be conned all their lives.

You come try play a game like that on me and utajuwa malenge ni nyama.

@jus blazing, if you took your time to read reasons as to why relocate, you can then give a better alternative or reasons as to why not relocate.
For example, in the case of the national park, trees perform 10 times better as carbon sinks than grass. I suggested the land to be turned to low density residential with high density forest/tree cover. Give a better suggestion than this if you have then we debate it.

For JKIA, i suggested relocating to near daystar to enable security, expansion etc etc which is lacking at current location. If you have a better suggestion, give it we debate it.

on the issue of kevevapi, your suggestion to punish innocent kenyans just to serve as a lesson is fine to you but i would differ. Punishing innocent investors to me is unfair.

@jus blazin just criticising without facts and being part of a lynch mob supporting demolishing of innocent people's houses to me reeks of jealousy.

Please advice accordingly. Who was the seller? For you to buy land, someone must sell. Who was the seller.

Apparently the owner is claiming that he didn't sell it. So who sold it?

Again stop trying to confuse guys here.

That is the reason you sue. So that the truth sets everyone free. Right now, the owners should not trust anyone. Especially anyone who was involved in these transactions. Sue, then the truth will show itself.

There are cases where somone is allocated land illegally. he then sells it to a gov't agency. Then the gov't agency resells to the fellow's other company at a loss. Then the fellow resells the property to the silly investors.

I'll call them dumb because people have been told over and over again to walk into lands office and see the original deeds themselves.

They are not innocent. If you pay 10million for a house without a clean title, you are not innocent. you are just a dumb investor.

To avoid being dumb for too long, sue the developer and get your money back. Apana ngoja.

@alma, why call innocent people dumb? Thats disrespectful. Since both of us dont understand the legal situation regarding the conveyancing, its pointless to discuss the legality of the sale. Lets keep to the viability of whether kevevapi should continue using the land as agricultural or resell the remaining 70 acres to developers.

Am sure they did carry out searches and since the deal was done by a commissioner of lands, the serches were positive.
